 CERTIFICATION
        OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER PURSUANT TO SECTION 302
 OF
        THE
        SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
 
 I,
        Gregory J. Halpern, the principal executive officer of Z Trim Holdings, Inc., certify
        that:
 
 1.
        I have
        reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Z Trim Holdings, Inc.;
 
 2.
        Based on
        my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement
        of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
        make
        the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
        were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
        report;
 
 3.
        Based on
        my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
        included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects
        the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant
        as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;
 
 4.
        The
        registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing
        and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
        Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and we have:
 
 (a)
        Designed
        such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
        controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure
        that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
        subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
        during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;
 
 (b)
        Evaluated
        the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures
        and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of
        the
        disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by
        this
        report based upon such evaluation; and
 
 (c)
        Disclosed
        in this report any change in the registrant's internal control
        over financial reporting that occurred during the registrants' most recent
        fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
        affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting;
 
 5.
        The
        registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
        our
        most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
        registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of directors:
 
 (a)
        All
        significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation
        of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely
        to
        adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize
        and report financial data and have identified for the registrant's auditors
        any material weaknesses in internal controls; and
 
 (b)
        Any
        fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
        who have a significant role in the registrant's internal controls;
        and
 
 6.
        The
        registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this quarterly
        report whether or not there were significant changes in internal controls
        or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent
        to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions
        with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
